My Reading Challenges 2010

I had to add this one hosted by Alaine at Royal Reviews. Since I am going to be reading my first Georgette Heyer novel very soon I figured I should add this one because I am pretty sure I will read more of them. I decided to go with:

Curious – Read 3 Romance Fiction novels
My known reads so far will be Arabella and Powder and Patch both by G.H.


The Tudor book Challenge is hosted by Michelle at Benedictionary, a book worms blog. Tudor Book Challenge: From January 1st, 2010 to December 31st, 2010 The Tudor Book Challenge challenges you to read books about or inspired by the Tudor era of the English monarchy.

I choose Commoner – Your role in the kingdom is small but mighty. You are going to read at least 5 Tudor-related books. I am pretty sure I will end up reading more than that but just to be safe I picked a lower one. I plan on reading the Tudor related novels from my Arc's list and unread owned books list.

Historical Fiction Reading Challenge is hosted by the ladies over at Royal Reviews. I chose Obsessed – Read 20 Historical Fiction novels. It is only fitting since the size of the owned unread books is over 50 novels all historical fiction.
Hosted by MizB's Reading challenges Read Your Own Books and TBR (To Be Read). Both of these challenges I will be using my unread owned books list. I just want to get through as many of them as possible.
